In Re: City of Baton Rouge/Parish of East Baton Rouge, applying

for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court,
Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 712216.

BEFORE : PENZATO, GREENE, AND FIELDS, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. An application for supervisory writ not
filed in the Court of Appeal within the time so fixed or extended
shall not be considered, in the absence of a showing that the delay
in filing was not due to the applicant’s fault. See Rule 4-3,
Uniform Rules of the Louisiana Courts of Appeal. This writ
application appears to be untimely. Relator’s notice of intent was
filed on March 27, 2026, and the return date was signed setting
the return date on or before April 24, 2026. It appears the writ
application was filed after the return date, unless an extension
was timely obtained.

Supplementation of this writ application and/or an
application of rehearing will not be considered. Uniform Rules of
Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 2-18.7 & 4-9.

In the event relator seeks to file a new application with
this court, it must contain all pertinent documentation, including
documentation to show timeliness of this writ application, and
must comply with Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rule
2-12.2. Any new application must be filed on or before August 25,
2026, and must contain a copy of this ruling.
